Dude - did you know that St. Nicholas was Turkish? Tooth fairy, who knows.

Project Manager checking in here:

Have you ever had a frozen pizza? Frozen for months possibly.

We need more of this in our life.

“What’s that? There’s a border there? Well, what are you waiting for? Build a wall on that thing and let’s look at having China pay for it. It’ll be huge. You say they won’t pay, huh? Send the bill to some other country around there - the one with the really delicious food. I’ll see if I can import some of their…

Mike McCarthy looks like the guy who yells at the 17 year old stocking tools in Home Depot because the kid doesn’t know if the goddam router has a 1/4" AND a 1/2" collet or just one even though it says on the box it only has the 1/4".

Exactly. And as you get more sophisticated in taste, but may still be on a budget, those blends make great Thursday evening drinks. The ‘it’s not the weekend and I’m only having one, so let’s have something good but not the Glenmorangie’ drink.

He was heading this direction towards the end of his Hootie days. Go listen to Chasing Lucky and tell me he wasn’t headed straight to Country radio. I bought it, listened to Waltz Into Me and said “two years from now he’ll be on the CMA’s.”

Good write up, Dom. I like your insights.
